Does it never end? I have never known that it was so easy to become user again. In Slackware I used <login> in the terminal and have to go through the password and everything rigmarole to get back to user. I do this in Mandrake and the shell vanishes, but can be brought up again, and when I shutdown, I don't have the option of the dragon shutdown, but get back to a terminal /sbin/shutdown -h now as root. Thanks for that info Anne. I consider it among all the other very important trivia that some people take for granted that I don't know. These little things that make everything faster and easier. Linux is so very comfortable because it allows the shell to be used with the GUI in the background and vice versa. Thank you.
